I am Charlotte Yvonne (ya-von, not e-von) and I've always loved my name. Charlotte was my grandmother and I have one cousin, 15 years older than me, named Charlotte Jonelle; (I never liked her name). There was only one other Charlotte in my school, and then not until high school. I never had any of the nicknames associated with Charlotte, and I'm glad. A few lazy people will refer to me as Char occassionally, but I attribute this to the general bastardization of the English language rather than an abbreviation for Charlotte. Like others, the most frustrating thing about being named Charlotte is the common misspellings, for me it was Charolette. I think it sounds best when paired with a two syllable name, but I could be bias.

We named our first daughter Charlotte Elise. We love the name and I think our daughter does too. We call her Lottie. I think as she gets older (3 years old now) she will love it even more.

I'm 22 and my name is Charlotte Victoria. Although I like my first and middle name combination (my middle name is my mom's name), growing up, I never really liked my first name. And I still feel on-the-fence about it. Luckily though, I never had any peers with my name. It wasn't until my 3rd year of college that I shared my name with a classmate. I never had a nickname, too. I think I like Lottie, but it's a little too late for me to start going by another name :)

My name is Charlotte Elizabeth.
. I'm 19 years old and I've always loved my name. Its beautiful, strong, elegant, classy, and feminine. Being an uncommon name I have only met one other Charlotte in my life. I like being the only Charlotte in any given setting, rather then being the third Emily in a classroom. I get a lot of complements on my name which has given me confidence. The only downside I've encountered with my name is that people usually don't know how to spell it correctly. Some nicknames that I've been called are Char, Char Char, and Lottie but i prefer Charlotte. I think its a great name for any girl to have.

Hi..my name is Charlotte; I'm 52 years old. In all honesty? Growing up..I hated my name. It was long; computer readouts always chopped it at "Charlot". It was hard to spell; hard to remember. I got called Sherrie; Sharon; Charlene; Charla..most everything but Charlotte. My nickname was "Charshie"..which caught on because my little sister couldn't say--Charlotte. And..the only other "Charlotte" I knew was a little old lady across the way who always wore red ankle socks with short pants and chain smoked. Kids read comic books back then--one of the most popular was this big fat blonde girl--Lottie. I fought my weight when I was younger; you can guess how that went.

After decades of grappling with my name..a while back..it just kind of grew on me. Somewhere in there it went from--snide comments ("why didn't your mom just name you something easy?") to--sophisticated. Its a strong name--I'm a strong person..and I'm proud of that. I hear comments now like..elegant; Victorian; feminine--but strong..and beautiful. Its not a wimpy name--ask anyone whose had to carry it around for a lifetime. I love my name but..I had to grow into it.

We named our daughter Charlotte Mary because we wanted a timeless name as well as one not-so-common and not often associated with nicknames. We wanted something that sounded classy, southern, strong and yet feminine... Charlotte fit all of these things perfectly! Our little red headed blue eyed 2 year old is extremely smart, funny, kind, feminine, independent and strong!!! We paired her name with Mary to honor the Virgin mother, which doubled perfectly as a Southern sounding name! I had loved that name since I was a child, as Charlotte's web was one of my all time favorite books. Also, Charlotte Bronte is one of my favorite writers. Admittedly so, I also got a kick out of the more "old fashioned" morals of "Charlotte" on the hit show "Sex and the City".

I named my daughter Charlotte Annabelle, and we call her Charlie for short. We always get comments on her name about how pretty it is and uncommon without being "out there." We, so far, have not met any other Charlottes or Charlies.

I think Charlotte is becoming more common. In the last year I have met 2 babies named Charlotte, I think its going to be a bit hit especially since old names are hot right now.

When I named my daughter Isabel in 1998, I worried that Isabel would be too popular -- turned out that of the five baby girls born to our Lamaze class, three were named Charlotte. That said, I don't run into a lot of Charlottes at school ten years later. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Or subliminal messages from our Lamaze instructor?

We considered Charlotte for a girl as a way to honor Pope John Paul II. His Polish name was Karol, which is Charles in English. Hence Charlotte. (We opted to name our daughter after my grandmother instead, but I still love this name.)

We named our daughter Charlotte (born June, 2008), but we call her "Lottie". We get such warm and excited responses when we tell people her name and nickname. Charlotte is a beautiful name, but "Lottie" is so cute and sweet, and that's exactly how our little baby is!

My name is Charlotte, and I never really liked my name. It is pretty uncommon, and I never liked that growing up. It also is not pronounced like it is spelled- people often spell it "Sharlet" or "Charlit". It is a very feminine name, but also weak. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you call her by a nickname.

I'm 19 years old, and my name is Charlotte. I think it's a beautiful, classy, smart name. I get lots of compliments on it. I used to hate it when I was little, but now I'm SO glad that my name isn't Brittany or Ashley or Emily. My nickname is just Char, which is alright but gets pronounced "CH ar" instead of the appropriate "SH ar". I think if you're going to name your daughter Charlotte, you should call her Charlie or Lottie. Those are way cuter. My middle name is Ann--a simple name, but it works well.

I'm 18, and my name is Charlotte... I like the heritage of my name I guess but I always disliked how common it was there were 5 of us in my maths class... It's a weak sounding name though admittably very feminine, and delicate... It often gets mispronounced or spelt which I find incredibly annoying considering it's so common... I often get called CHARlut, SHALLot, when it should be pronounced Sharlet, which then leads to misspellings... It's a nice name but it doesn't suit me at all... I'm a tomboy, and delicate, weak and ladylike perhaps isn't the right angle for my name... On the upside it's easy to shorten and my friends call me Charley (which also somehow gets mispronounced as Sharley grrr)...

I am going to name my daughter Charlotte Rose, but I know that I am going to call her Charo. It just seems so cute, and different, not many Charlotte's nicknames are Charo, it's usually 'Charlie' or 'Lottie'.

My daughter (born in 2009) is called Charlotte Alena. We both loved the name as it is pretty and traditional and Charles is a family name for both sides of the family. We intended to use the nickname Lottie, but have always called her by her full name in the end. Although it is meant to be quite a common name at the moment, we have only come across one other Charlotte locally, 2 years younger than mine.

My name is Charlotte Emily, but I just go by Charlie, not really because I prefer it, I like both, it's just that Charlie Kent sounds WAY better than Charlotte Kent. Also, it was a great way to confuse people when I was younger when I introduced myself as Charlotte, but everyone else kept talking about a Charlie who they thouht was a boy :)

Hi, my name is Noah and I have six children, and will be having my seventh in January. Their names are Emmet James and Ryan Paige ( girl and boy twins, 13) then we had Penelope Iris ( we call her Pip, 11) following her was Eric John jr.( we call him E.J, 10) then was Kathrine Ann 2nd ( we call her Katie, 9) following her was Geoffrey Andrew ( we call him Geoffie, 8) and then Sean Christan ( We call him Seanie, 4) I am now deciding on the name Charlotte Mae, for our daughter, I think it will fit great with my kids. Emmet, Ryan, Pip, E.J. Katie, Geoffie, Seanie, and Charlotte, we may Call her Charlie!

My niece's name is Charlotte and I was only 4 when she was born so that was the first time I ever heard the name and I still remember learning to spell it. I really like it, it just sounds really nice. I have only ever met one other Charlotte besides her and they both have similar strawberry blonde hair so that's the
image I get in my head when someone says the name

I'm 14 and I haven't always liked my name because it was really annoying when people spelt it wrongly, like Sharlot, or pronounced it wrongly. There was a teacher who even managed to mess up and call me Shallot! But now, I love my name because all my nicknames are sweet. People call me Chocolate, Bubble Tea... my worst was in Singlish (I'm Singaporean.). People called me Cha-low-tea (singlish for bread with something spread on top) because I loved honey and bread and brought it for recess in my lunch box almost everyday. Now I go by Carly Low and my friends know me as Carlotta or Sharly. People say I seem so girly that Charlie is weird but Charlotte and Carlotta are way too girly because I'm a perfect mix of gal and guy! So I go by Carly.Charlotte is a really girly name but its classy, elegant and strong.My parents named me for all those reasons because I was premature. But I was really strong and my parents wanted me to be free of those awful tubes. I love my name now although I wanted to be different when I was younger...I wanted to be the first Chrysanthemum that lived. People now say classy, girly, elegant, strong Charlotte now suits me and I strive to prove the girly wrong, but I must admit I'm (head) strong, though people say I am strong, and classy and elegant when I try really hard or forced into it. ;)

I'm about to turn 19 and my name is Charlotte Opal. When I was a kid, I struggled with t's and hard sounds so I called myself Charly. Around high school or so, I stopped caring about the name people called me so much. Charly suits me, since I look very alternative with brightly colored hair and ripped and bleach stained clothes, but I prefer to be called Charlotte in more professional and classroom settings, just because it makes me sound more mature and elegant. People have called me all sorts of things, Charles and Charmander (I had orange/red hair at the time) were my favorites, but in musical theatre circles people call me Lottie or little Lottie, after the Phantom of the Opera song. I've also been called Chara, Chuck, and Charl.

Charlotte \ch(ar)-lotte, charl(ot)-te\ as a girl's name is pronounced SHAR-let. It is of Old German origin, and the meaning of Charlotte is "free man". French feminine dimunitive of Charles, used in England since the 17th century, and made popular by Queen Charlotte, George III's wife (19th century).
